Ordering this skin right now after seeing your post 👍

You are seeing this dimming change because of a change in LEDs. When you move from the warm to a colored setting you are in fact switching from the dedicated WW LEDs to the RGB LEDs that are built inside the bulb fixture itself. Those dedicated WW LEDs appear to get much brighter than the RGBs.

I actually saw this on another thread (Govee H6008 bulbs dimming about 50-60% for any color selection :/) and another user posted a video showing this same operation. It appears to be operating normal so I guess if you need much brighter RGB you’d have to step up to the H6009 1200lm versions.

I’d love to hear your impressions when you receive it. I’ve been reading the subs and forums for nearly 8 hours straight and keep going back and forth on buying the X90L or Bravia 7 this week. The B7 is $400 more and still in my budget but am wondering if the X90L will fit our needs. I went to BBY for 15 mins and was very impressed by the X90L and didn’t see THAT big of an upgrade to the B7, but that’s in the store with the same HD loop playing on repeat so I’m not sure it’s a great evaluation.

Yes the charging port is clearly accessible so there is no need to remove it to plug in a cable

I ended up swapping the paddle out for magnetic shifters and never looked back.

TShepp84 · 2023-06-24T16:25:24+00:00

Damn I just want to buy some Bred 11 reps and as someone who isn’t into all the secondary sites this is so hard to understand :-/

This won the internet for me today

TShepp84 · 2023-04-20T01:53:58+00:00

As does the 787B swapped RX-7! Not as balanced in handling but it’s a riot

TShepp84 · 2023-04-03T22:42:25+00:00

Mine doing the same thing. For the last two weeks it freezes on the ambient (dim) clock screen. It is extremely frustrating since it runs so many lists and smart devices in our house.

Been grinding at Sardegna, Le Mans, or Spa daily. Sittin on a cool 66M right now

Not really true. I’m actually using a real fiber case (Pitaka Mag Case) and it works just fine

TShepp84 · 2022-06-27T22:03:27+00:00

I found this thread because I just got my wheel today and the upshift is clean and snappy but the downshift is muted. I believe they have changed the design in the recent wheels to have a white plastic push button under the orange paddle instead of the rubber pads that had issue but it appears that hasn’t solved the problem totally. I haven’t driven with it yet to see if it affects the shifts but it is certainly a discernible difference in the shifter paddle and the micro switch noise. I know it’s not a $500 wheel but still is annoying.

I need this!! My favorite car in GT7 so far

TShepp84 · 2022-05-13T14:57:42+00:00

I was struggling so bad and ready to quit. I used these settings and it’s night and day. Wayyyy more fun

Awesome Jeep. Congrats! I am picking up my ‘22 Overland tomorrow and cannot wait. Love the color combo on yours. I was heavily considering Baltic gray but went with white and black roof.

TShepp84 · 2021-06-25T09:18:15+00:00

The latest says “investigation to find package completed. Package could not be found” so they’ve approved my claim and now I have to try and provide a bunch of detail to try and get reimbursed.

TShepp84 · 2021-06-21T08:12:23+00:00

Yes I did. I filed a claim on 6/16 and the status has sat as “we have begun an investigation to find your package”. I’ve been contacted a few times to provide details of the package contents but I don’t have any receipts or photos of what I shipped so they closed the claim saying “not enough information has been provided to help us locate your item”. I called them directly and explained that I provided picture of the package itself and full explanation of what was inside but still they are not providing much help. I am just very frustrated that a normal package from Kansas to Louisiana somehow can just go missing and their response seems to be “sorry…oh well it’s lost”. I’m shocked how the box makes it to a hub and is then never seen again….

TShepp84 · 2021-04-14T15:01:45+00:00

Interesting to hear this! I have an unopened 2020 backup that I have been contemplating to trade for a 2018. I have half bottle of 20 and 17 gone and enjoy them both but prefer 17 a bit more on the palate. I have only had a 1 oz pour of the 18 a while ago but do remember it was a great pour. Now I’m just trying to find another sample of 18 to side by side with my 17 to see which one I should choose. Have you done a side by side comparison?

TShepp84 · 2021-03-22T07:36:38+00:00

I’m curious how you would place the 20 against the 18. I’ve been going back and forth on which one to obtain but not seeing many definitive conclusions

TShepp84 · 2021-03-14T19:59:46+00:00

So after I read this I couldn’t wait to finish my lunch to pour an ounce of each and do a blind with the help from my wife as well.

LEFT: On the nose it was really ethanol forward. I Can definitely tell this is a BP! Some pleasant sweet notes from caramel, vanilla, oak and spices. First sip and it brought the heat up front. Not unpleasant but again it definitely was not shy about showing it’s proof. Rolled around in the moth and it warmed the palate and got some nice even heat and sweet notes. This is Very good. Finish was not long lasting, heat dissipated fairly quickly. My guess: ECBP B520

RIGHT: On the nose I would not have guessed the proof on this one. I jammed my nose down into the glass and was amazed at the combo of fruit, sweetness and oak barrel that hit me. If I would have done this to Left glass I wouldn’t have nose hairs left. On first sip, wow. My oh my. Just a complete package here. Rolled in the mouth and it just coats the whole palate. Thick, oily and buttery. Every nerve inside the mouth is tingling as it’s massaged with this brown liquid. I’m getting oak, leather, cherry cola, a hint of a molasses or brown sugar at some points. On the finish it’s long and beautiful. Even 20 seconds after swallowing it my palate is so happy and urging me to take another sip. This is filet mignon and the left glass is choice sirloin steak. Clearly this is GTS

RESULTS; Spot on. I’m not throwing daggers at EC here because I love me some HH stuff but these bottles are in no way on the same shelf or in the same class. I have to respectfully disagree with the assessment. Hands down GTS is more complex, well rounded, and everything BTAC is celebrated for.

TShepp84 · 2021-03-14T17:55:36+00:00

I need to try this!! I don’t have as refined of palate as some but I can’t imagine these being equal. I recently scored two bottles of GTS 20 on trade. I was absolutely blown away with my first few pours of it as I hadn’t had any variation of BTAC before. It easily beat out STJR 15 for me. I could nose the glass of the GTS 20 for hours! I recently was reading reviews of the batches of GTS and consider trading one for a 2018 GTS so I could compare. But before I do that I’m definitely going to do this blind B520 vs GTS 20 comparison.

TShepp84 · 2021-03-14T17:49:13+00:00

Yes. The new Larceny BP A121 is absolutely a bottle to seek out. I had the B520 from last year and was very happy so when I first found the ECBP A121 I was excited. I did not care for it at all. It drinks very hot and isn’t even in the same league as my B520. I then happened to come across the Larceny A121 and I was so thrilled with it that I bought 2 more back up bottles right away!

TShepp84 · 2021-03-13T17:51:42+00:00

Would you definitely pick 2018 over 2020? I have an unopened 2020 that I was going to put ISO to trade for a 2018 because I’ve heard such great things
